Totally makes sense to like any one of his comedies, its just that they're all the same comedy. The first one you see is funny, the second ok, the third cliche'd crap. My criticism of Allen is the bitterness of a former fan.

Al though EYAWTAS, is a bit different in that its a sketch comedy movie rather than a single plot.

I love Get Smart and every episode of Get Smart seems to a a compilation of the same twenty jokes. ( I love the "cone of silence".)

I think, (but I don't know) that Woody Allen has financial considerations. When he was popular he could make big budget piss takes, like "Love and Death" on Tolstoy. Nowadays, he has to make cheaper profitable films for the art-house circuit. Therefore I imagine he does make old style popular Woody Allen films with the older gags, to gain investors.
